INVESTIGATE JOB SITE BEFORE HAND
• When working at the edge of an excavation or on a
road shoulder, the machine could overturn, possibly
resulting in serious injury or death.
- Investigate the configuration and ground conditions
of the job site beforehand to prevent the machine
from overturning and prevent the ground,
stockpiles, or banks from collapsing.
- Make a work plan. Use machines appropriate to
the work and job site.
- Reinforce ground, edges, and road shoulders as
necessary. Keep the machine well back from the
edges of excavations and road shoulders.
- When working on an incline or road shoulder,
employ a signal person as required.
Confirm that your machine is equipped with a
F.O.P.S. (Falling Object Protective Structure) cab
before working in areas where there is the
possibility of falling stones or landslides.
- When footing is weak, reinforce the ground before
starting the work.
- When working on frozen ground, be extremely
alert. As ambient temperature rises, footing
becomes loose and slippery.
PROTECTION OF CAB
• In case of operation of the excavator under
conditions where land slides with falling rocks or
any conditions where there is a potential falling of
objects of different nature that could endanger the
operator, it is necessary to install a F.O.P.S. (Falling
Object Protective Structure) to protect the cab.
